Notes

Depending on how ripe, or not, the tomatoes are, the amount of sugar will vary.

If you are looking to speed up the cooking process you may finish soup in blender (such as a BlendTec blender that has a soup setting). Puree tomato, onion, and garlic. Add basil right in. Add cheese and cream. Serve.

Hi Abbe! Thanks for stopping by. Depending on if you will be serving this soup with something else (like toast or grilled cheese sandwiches) and if you thin it down with chicken stock, it will make 4-6 servings. It’s delicious! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Question. This looks delicious. I have a ton of tomatoes and I would like to make this and freeze it. Should I prepare it and then freeze it before adding the cream and cheese? Then add those right before we serve it? Thanks.

Hi, Jenna! Thanks for stopping by. This soup is great for freezing. I’ve frozen this soup after it was fully prepared. It tasted great but for a fresher taste I would leave the dairy out if you know you will be freezing it then add it when you reheat. Good luck with those tomatoes. 🙂

OK, I am impressed. I can’t remember the last time (I’m thinking never) that I had tomato soup from anything but a can or restaurant. This looks so good and is also very pretty. You did a great job with the picture. Thank you for sharing. Pinned and Shared.

Hi, Carmen! You can omit the cheese and add salt to taste. As for the cream, I’ve never omitted it or used a substitution but I’m guessing you could probably substitute coconut cream (from coconut milk in a can). It would give you that rich, creamy look and flavor without the dairy. If you try it, let me know how it turns out. Our garden tomatoes are a couple weeks out but soon we will be making this delicious soup. Thanks for stopping by.

I made a half batch of this tonight (half of my tomatoes went bad so I only had enough for half!), and it turned out AWESOME. The only trouble I had was pureeing my basil in my Vitamix, but I ended up just adding the cream in with the basil, and blending it that way! Thank you for giving me an excuse to use my new Vitamix!

Hi Austin. I’m happy you enjoyed this recipe. It’s one of our family favorites. Also, thanks for sharing your comment here. It’s very much appreciated. I’ve heard amazing things about Vitamix and am glad you could put yours to good use with this recipe. Happy cooking! 🙂
